Technology for Social Impact: Turning Innovation into Purposeful Practice

Technology is creating new possibilities for social impact—helping NGOs reach more people, reduce manual work, and make services easier to access. But successful adoption starts with a clear understanding of real-world needs. How can NGOs use technology in practical, purposeful ways, and decide when a solution is ready to scale?

This workshop is designed for NGOs and philanthropic organisations looking to strengthen their services through technology. Participants will explore how to test ideas quickly, learn from users, and manage risks before scaling.

Participants will gain exposure to practical frameworks and considerations to help identify where technology can add value, and explore approaches to testing, adapting or scaling solutions grounded in the needs of the people they serve.
